calling  the  attention  to  some  peculiarity  connected  with  the  structure,  color,

ment of  some  of  the  solid  angles  formed  at  the  meet- 
ing  of  the  prism  and  pyramid,  by  triangular  planes. 
The  crystals  also  present  a  flattened  appearance,  in 
consequence  of  the  undue  enlargement  of  two  oppo- 
site planes  of  the  prism.  They  contain  chlorite, 
from  whence  arises  their  green  color. 

f>48.  L.  Haddam,  Connecticut.  Large,  white,  and  nearly 
opaque  crystals  of  quartz :  form  like  644,  excepting 
in  the  pyramids,  whose  planes  are  equally  produced. 
All  the  large  crystals  from  this  locality  resemble  each 
other  in  a  want  of  transparency,  and  lustre,  and  in 
having  their  lateral  planes  made  up  of  numerous 
smaller  crystals. 

649.  L.  Madagascar.     A  large  single  crystal ;  form  like  648; 
transparent,  with  air  bubbles  or  cavities  traversing

ri50.  L.  Dauphine.  A  large  crystal,  with  several  smaller  ones 
attached  to  it,  (and  also  crystals  of  carbonate  of  lime,) 
whose  lateral  planes  have  not  an  uniform  width  from 
one  extremity  to  the  other,  but  are  alternately  wider 
at  one  end,  and  shorter  at  the  other.  One  plane  of 
the  pyramid  is  produced  to  such  an  extent  as  very 
nearly  to  extinguish  the  other  five,  one  of  which  is 
reduced  to  a  much  smaller  size  than  the  adjacent 
rhomboidal  truncation.  The  crystals,  like  647,  con- 
tain chlorite.

adjacx^nt  faces  of  the  pyramid  are  produced  at  the 
expense  of  the  other  three,  one  of  which  is  scarcely 
visible  ;  and  one  of  the  solid  angles  between  the 
pyramid  and  prism  is  replaced  by  two  rhomboidal 
planes. 

657.  L.  Haddam,  Connecticut.      In    regular   six-sided  prisms, 

with  six-sided  pyramids,  one  of  which  has  the  alter- 
nate planes  unduly  produced.
